Sonic Adventure 2 is one of the main reason's I got steam. This game has a very high frame rate and runs great with mods and texture packs. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves Sonic or action games

Very well made port of Sonic Adventure 2.

Controller support works flawlessly.

You get to choose from two story lines (Hero / Dark), which each feature three core gameplay elements:
1. Speed levels
In these your goal is to get to the end of the stage extremely fast.
2. Mech levels
In these you blast your way to the exit.
3. Search levels
In these your goal is to search emerald pieces.

There is also a place called the Chao garden, where you get to raise pets with whom you can play a lot of minigames.

There are some minor issues where the camera can become a problem and cheap deaths may occur.

This was before the memes,8bit nostalgia, terrible consoles, and the wave of shooter games - and when playing Sonic games wasn't attributed with a fanbase of a bunch of autistic, circlejerking perverts who cross it with My Little Pedophile / Undertail / FNAF every chance they get

I remember when I was 12 years old and I rented this movie from the local public library. I used to watch it religiously, every day when I would get home from school I would pop the disk into the DvD player and just sit there watching the movie on repeat for hours. But I knew that it couldn't last forever I knew that one day I would have to return the DVD to the library. One day when I got home from school my mom said to me "sacul, I got a call from the library and that sonic DVD is overdue we have to return it today". I said "NO, mom I can't return the DVD" my mom responded "what did you scratch the disk or something??” I said "Hell NO mom do you honestly think I would do anything to harm this dvd" my mom said "don't talk to me like that" I said “I’ll talk to you however I want ♥♥♥♥♥". my mom gasped and smacked me in the face I fell to the ground my mom said "that movie has been a bad influence on you I’m going to the library to return it immediately" she walked over to the dvd player where the dvd was currently playing and was going to press the eject button but, before she could there was a blue blur the flew out from the TV and push my mom on to the floor. I knew who it was and I knew he would put an end to the injustice my mom was committing. My mom said "what the heck was that" the Blue blur responded with " I am the fastest thing alive I am protector of all living things that cry out in misery I am sonic the hedgehog and I am a nightmare to you". My mom said "I'm calling the police" sonic said "you're too slow" the vanished for a millisecond then reappeared holding the house phone. He crushed the house phone in his hand and said "try to keep up!” My mom screamed and ran into the kitchen. Sonic raced after her and I followed. My mom grabbed a kitchen knife and said "I don't know who you are or what you are but I'm going to stab if you don't get out of my house right now!!!!!” Sonic said "don't tell me what to d-" as he was talking he was interrupted by my mom's knife. It slashed him across his Achilles tendon. Sonic sad "NO NOW I CAN'T GO FAST". My mom said "I know and I’m going to put an end to you right now" sonic mumbled "YOU ♥♥♥♥♥'. My mom put her right foot forward and charge toward sonic she had the knife against her stomach with the blade pointing outward in the direction of Sonic’s heart. I knew I had to stop this because if I didn't sonic would surely die. I leaped forward in front of my mom. The blade went straight into my throat. My mom yelled "OH MY GOD" blood shot out of my throat and I fell. As I lay on the ground awaiting my eminent death I feel a strange sense of contempt within my demise. I knew my death would be for a good cause, FOR SONIC.

It's a fantsastic game, but lately, whenever I try to launch it, the game crashes and I'm forced to restart my PC. It was working fine just a few months ago, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

EDIT: Found a fix, I just use windowed mode, it crashes on fullscreen. Game runs flawlessly at 1080p anyway (unless I'm recording gameplay), so not a huge problem.

I loved this game as a child. It felt like a really nice standpoint for Sonic's 3D world. However, in today's society, even considering nostalgia's sake, I cannot recommend this game.

The homing attack is awful. There's no targetting system to help, so when you aim at something to use the attack, there's a 50/50 chance you'll hit. I find myself missing and flying PAST the enemy straight ahead of me and falling off into the water to restart and waste a life. It's completely unreliable. This game did not age well compared to new Sonic titles with polished controls like Sonic Generations. Want a fun Sonic 3D game with replayability, play that one. This game feels too old and it doesn't work for me.

When you're running in Stage 05, the controls feel their worst. Running on down a slope really feels uncomfortable since if you barely move sonic to the left, he gets stuck running from that spot instead of barely sliding alongside it. It feels like he keeps getting glued as he changes places while running. I attempted to come back to this game for nostalgia's sake, but it is not fun, sadly. I'd have given this a positive review a long time ago, but in today's world it is an okay game. I give it a no-recommend because of my personal uncomfortable experience.

Its a all time classic, this game is awesome! yes the storyline might be a bit wonky at times and the graphics arent that great compared to todays games, but in terms of a classic, this game is great. The highlight of his game has to be the chao world. It adds so many hours onto the game and is actually a necessary process if you are going for 100%. If you do aim to 100% complete this game though (as im sure many people have by now) its extreemly tedious! Getting the best rank in every stage is very difficult and you require excellent gameplay skills to finish this game fully! I probably will just play this game through normally as getting a perfect score on every stage is too tedious for my taste..

To finish every level normally however, its great to play even though some stages do have a few glitches here and there. Ive experianced a glitch when playing the games first level, where a texture of a truck is glitching onto the screen blocking my view so its very hard to see where im going! I wish the game was more optimised for newer operating systems and was tested a bit better before release.. Then again its a older game so you cant expect much at this stage!

I will warn anyone thats planning to buy this game though, do NOT BUY THIS unless you have some form of controller. Seriously playing this game using keyboard controls feels so awkward and almost makes the game unplayable. Some people however do like playing using the keyboard, but for the best experiance, i would recommend a controller.

I also had problems getting the game to launch first time, with files being missing from my computer. I have fixed this issue after reinstalling the game like twice and looking up solutions online. Overall great game, i just dont recommend playing this without a controller.
